You can now book one of the Library's group study rooms via the online booking system using your Unitec username and password.

How does it work?

Simple! It’s a 100% self-service system where you can book, modify or delete your own room booking.

The study rooms will remain unlocked (except in Building 1), so just
show up at the room at your booking time. For Building 1, ask for
access code from the staff at the B1 desk.

What types of rooms are available?

Main Library: 7 rooms in various sizes. Room 1 holds 8
people, the rest 4-6 people. All rooms have a white board and some of
them have TV with built-in DVD player, TV with built-in VCR player
or wall monitor TV screen.

Language Learning Centre (also inside the Main Library): 3 rooms all with a white board for up to 4 people.
Please note: these rooms are only bookable after 4:30 pm Monday-Friday and during opening hours on weekends.

Building 1: 1 room for up to 8 people, with a whiteboard, TVs with built-in VCR players, and a DVD player.

What are the booking limits?

To ensure fair and equal access to these spaces for everyone:

You may book up to 2 hours per group per day and have one outstanding booking any time.

Multiple bookings will be deleted.

If rooms are not occupied within 15 minutes of a scheduled booking time they are available for other groups to use.

If you are a Unitec student and need to access a computer or printer during this time please use the Student Computer Centre in the hub (near the coffee kiosk), which will be open from 8.30pm - 12.30pm.
